Ages: Boys & Girls ages 9 to 17
Dates: Overnight Program
Session 1: July 1 to July 14
Session 2: July 15 to July 28
McDonogh is proud to offer programs designed to help international students improve their language skills and experience American culture. Mornings of serious fun will be followed by evenings of serious learning. Our programs combine excellent English language instruction and cultural immersion with wonderful amenities outside the classrooms. Our faculty is committed to helping international students reach new levels of understanding and mastery. At the same time, they want students to feel comfortable, safe, and happy. Their goal is to create a family among participants.
In the evenings, students will venture to Baltimore's festive Inner Harbor, shopping malls, public libraries and other local attractions. The program also includes travel to places such as New York, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., and Hershey Park, Pennsylvania.
While on campus, students will live in McDonogh dorms. Home to McDonogh students during the school year, Rollins Hall and Jane Bay are comfortable, secure residence halls for American Immersion students during the summer.
Ages: Boys and Girls 9 to 17
Tuition: One Session: $2,995; Two Sessions: $5,690
ESL at McDonogh is a blend of academics, cultural interactions, language instruction, travel experiences, summer activities, and total American culture and English language immersion. Directed by Jenny Zhaohong Li and taught by our team of language specialists, the program will emphasize the four skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Classes will be small enough to offer consistent individual attention, with no more than 12 students per class. The student's level in each area will be determined by a placement test given at the beginning of the program. During classes, students will create their own academic portfolio, which will track students' language acquisition progress. Classroom projects will be linked with field trips to Baltimore, New York, Philadelphia and Washington D.C.,in which students will learn the cultural and historical aspects about the places to be visited.
*Students have the option to choose any of the free traditional camps (Senior Camp, The All Sports Camp, or the Outdoor Adventure Camp) or any of the camps that have an additional charge. Please keep in mind the dates of each traditional and extra camps are different. Please contact our Summer Camp Office at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any questions.

|We walk a lot here, but look how beautiful our area is!
The rains are back! and yes, the car got stuck in the mud again...haha at this point, I just laugh every time it happens. Although we walk as much as we possibly can, the car always manages to get stuck! Poor Sacajawea! Where we were driving, the top layer of dirt had dried, but as I drove, the ground broke and there was SO MUCH MUD! We had to walk for some time back to the main road and wave down a combi to come pull us out because the entire axle was in the mud. I laugh because the face of our investigator was priceless when she opened the door to two sister missionaries covered in mud! I had mud up to my knees because I had tried placing rocks under the tire, but our investigator happily agreed with us to have the lesson outside of the house under the stars. But it's okay haha...mud is good for your skin right?
This week the youth went to a youth conference and the branch even allowed some of our current investigators to attend. It seemed as if they had a great time! We were supposed to baptize this weekend, but due to the conference, we've pushed the baptism back.
|the last time they tried to introduce their own currency...this is equivalent to about 2 US dollars!
To be honest, other than the fact that we got to teach about the Atonement and about Christ every day all week, it didn't really feel like Easter. In Zimbabwe, the holiday started on Thursday and is ending on Tuesday because Tuesday is Zimbabwe's Independence Day! I also don't think people understand much about the Easter bunny here. Other than going to church on Sunday for Easter, it didn't seem like much of a holiday. But, one thing I've learned to accept, well two things, is one: I've learned to always say yes when I'm asked to chorister, even though I absolutely dislike it...and two, I' ve also learned to be ready to give talks at church! One of the speakers didn't show up, and so they asked me to give a talk which wasn't the first time it happened, but I think I actually don't mind it these days.
This week my companion and I went to a funeral for Edward's younger brother who was 18. There was an accident and he died instantly. Although we didn't know anyone else in his family, we went to go mourn with them. This isn't my first funeral, but funerals are definitely different here than they are back home.
|Making chapati for Taco Thursday!
|Taco Night is one of our favorites!
Vanswell-He was so prepared and he has such a good heart! He's been so accepting of the gospel and I've enjoyed teaching him. This past week, he shared his experience about how he felt the Holy Ghost and it was touching. He described it to be a heavenly feeling, a feeling that he had never really before. He also expressed about how he feels like although it's only been two weeks since we've started teaching him, he's been able to see the change in his life. He said that he's really been able to feel God's love in his life and he never wants to lose that feeling.
|I finally got my hair cut with Sister Thomas! haha just kidding, we decided to try on some wigs we found..but it's confirmed. I will never get front bangs.
All is well my side! Also Dad, I forgot to mention last week about how Elder Cook's talk reminded me of you! Although I don't think we reached 10,000 hours of practice, it made me think about the countless hours we spent in the mornings before school, during the summer, etc., practicing together at the field and in the backyard. I was definitely stubborn and unmotivated sometimes, but we made a good team together don't you think?
I love you guys! I pray for you every day.

Planning a Wedding: Six to Nine Months Before
Less than nine months to go until the big day! These are goals you should be accomplishing before the six month mark before your wedding to stay on track and reduce stress! Be sure to read the previous hub that covers the time after the engagement before starting these tasks.
Select a flower girl and ring bearer
When selecting the little ones that will be involved in your big day you should keep a few things in mind. If the little ones you have in mind don't do well under pressure than it might be best to find someone else. There's nothing worse than a bride that must push the flower girl up the aisle in front of her or a ring bearer who throws a temper tantrum as soon as he sees all the guests.
Also keep in mind that these children will need to be able to take directions from your coordinator. If they can't do that then you may want to find someone else.
To make the day easier on the children you can allow them to sit in the front row with their parents rather than stand during the ceremony. All they need to do is walk up the aisle and sit during the ceremony and then get up and leave afterwards. You can also skip the pillow to keep it from being a distraction. The ring bearers (ages 3 and 4) in my wedding just held hands and walked down the aisle and then sat with their parents until the ceremony was over.
Reserve wedding night bridal suite
Where are the two of you going to spend your first night as a married couple? Be sure everything is arranged and ready so at the end of a very long wedding day you two can relax and enjoy the evening.
Our wedding was held at a Bed and Breakfast so we simply booked the honeymoon sweet and stayed the night at the venue. This saved us so much hassle since we literally spent all day in the same location.
Select wedding day attire for bridesmaids and flower girl
When selecting the attire of the women in you party be sure to remember the time of year and where the ceremony will be held. Will it be on the beach during the summer? Then perhaps shorter dresses with a light fabric would be best. Or will your ceremony be during the fall in a local park? Then longer dresses with a shawl or wrap may be what your bridal party may need.
Be considerate of your bridesmaids, let them have some options when it comes to their dresses. Not all styles and cuts that dresses come in are flattering for everyone, allow some flexibility to make everyone comfortable. A common trend is to choose the color of the gowns and the length but allow the bridesmaids to choose the style themselves. I went with my girls to a nearby shop and had them try things on and vote. They all wore the same dress in the same color but as I said this doesn't need to always happen.
Select and book caterer
One of the most important choices you will make is who will cook the meal for your reception. The meal you provide for your guests will set the tone for the evening. Be sure to know what type of reception you want to have before you select a caterer.
Do you want something low-key and simple? Then perhaps selecting regional comfort foods, or even your favorite foods to serve your guests would be ideal. Mini corn dogs and mac and cheese seem to be among top choices for these types of gatherings.
Are you thinking something fancier for a reception? We had a choice of steak with a wine sauce or chicken stuffed with a cheese sauce.
Remember these tips when selecting a caterer:
1) Try their food! I know this seems obvious but before you book them try their food. Just because someone says they are good doesn't mean they will be what you want for your wedding. If it's possible try something that may be similar to what you would like to serve at your reception.
2) Know what you are paying for. Are deserts and the cake included? Is there a cake cutting fee?
3) Read the contract before you sign! Don't just fall in love with their food and sign because you want them to cook for your guests. Read and discuss the contract with the vendor. Ask questions and clarify things before you sign. After you sign they may be less willing to negotiate details.
Select and book ceremony musicians
Selecting ceremony musicians may be one of the easiest tasks you have ahead of you. Most people know what they want to hear when they walk down the aisle. Is it a piano, organ, or something more unique? Again here you must ask yourself what type of wedding you would like to have.
For our mid-afternoon garden wedding we had a bagpiper, a harpist, and a tin flute to play during our ceremony. While guests were being seated the harp and tin flute played softly in the background. The piper played when the men came into the ceremony and then a harpist and tin flute played while the women entered. After the ceremony was complete the piper played again and we all left the ceremony site.
Also remember to see and hear your musicians before you choose them. Many musicians can send you samplers so you can hear what they sound like. Know what you are paying for and make sure it adds to the day instead of taking from it!
Select and book reception music/entertainment
After the ceremony everyone will gather for the reception to celebrate the new marriage. What type of festivities do you see on your big day? You can choose many options for the reception a DJ, a live band, or some sort of entertainment. Each of these has their own benefits but again be sure to see and hear them before you sign anything. A great review on a wedding website doesn't mean they will be perfect for you and your guests.
Our wedding had a small number of guests and many of them were older so we didn't have music and dancing for our reception. Instead we hired dancers that would represent the various nationalities that we were descended from. We had Scottish, Irish, and German dancers that each performed about 15-20 minutes each. It turned out beautifully and guests still comment on how they had never been to such a fun reception before.
Select and book a photographer
Selecting the perfect photographer for your wedding day is a very important choice and should not be taken lightly. The person who is taking the pictures on your wedding day is responsible for capturing the moments that you will be able to relive every time you look at your wedding album. You want to be sure to have someone that knows what they are doing and avoid someone who just does this as a hobby.
Tips for selecting a photographer:
1) Ask to see an album of their work. Any good photographer will have this available to show potential clients. In this day and age they will even have a website with a gallery to showcase their work. A photographer who can not show you anything is probably hiding something or not as experienced as they would like to have you think.
2) Be sure you meet the photographer to make sure they will make you comfortable on your wedding day. This can be done by arranging to have them take your engagement pictures. This way you can work with them and see what types of pictures they produce before booking them for the wedding. Many photographers offer discounts if you do an engagement shoot and then book them for a wedding so be sure to ask about this and any other discounts they may offer.
Select and book a florist
Having a good florist that is willing to work with you is essential. They need to be willing and able to work within your budget and be able to get the look you want. No two florists are alike, they all have a different way of doing things. Think of your florist as an artist who will be setting the mood for your ceremony and reception.
When we looked for a florist we wanted someone close so we could meet with them as many times as was needed. We also wanted someone who would be as excited about our Scottish themed wedding as we were. We were very fortunate to find a florist that was Scottish herself and was thrilled to bring a bit of the highlands to our Bucks County wedding. She knew Scottish lore and worked in the white heather and thistle into our floral arrangements. We ordered some Gunn clan tartan ribbon to be worked into the arrangements as well. She did this all happily, cheerfully and most importantly within our budget!
Tips to Choosing a Florist:
1) When you meet with them be sure to bring pictures of floral arrangements you like, your favorite flowers you want included, and the colors of your bridesmaid dresses. This will give your florist a good idea of what you want and they will be able to give you a quote for the price.
2) Look through the albums of what they have done in the past. If they don't have an album move on. Anyone in an artistic field that isn't willing to show off their work isn't worth the risk of hiring them to work on your wedding.
3) Shop around. There is no reason you can't compare the price you get at one florist with other nearby. If you really liked one florist but their quote was higher than others then try calling them and negotiating the price.
4) See if they are willing to work in live plants if possible. By using live plants you will have something to keep at the end of your wedding, since in most cases bouquets and center pieces die shortly after the wedding. We had about two dozen live hydrangea plants to decorate the ceremony and cocktail hour areas. We now have those plants in our gardens at our house. Now every spring I will be able to enjoy my wedding flowers!
5) See if they will help you to select flowers that are in season. If you have your heart set on a spring wedding then you should consider using flowers that bloom in the spring and the same goes for weddings that will be in the summer or fall. You will pay more to get flowers that are out of season as the florist will have to have them shipped in from farther away rather than a local nursery or greenhouse. Your florist should be able to give you a good idea of what flowers will be easy to get, and therefore lower the price, during the season you have selected to have your wedding in.
I hope you have found this informational. You now have several tasks to focus on for the next few months. Also be sure to check out my hub on planning a Scottish themed wedding.

NEAGS Reviewer Comments
Miss Mary Mason was a historic leader not just in Limestone County but in all of Alabama. The amount of material she compiled is amazing.
A hand-written note from her states regret that she did not start the scrapbook earlier because those who had affected the county & area had already passed.
Many pictures from newspapers are included as well as copies of other images that Miss Mason obtained or had in her personal collection.
Note: Which newspapers the clippings came from is not always rarely shown. Dates are not always available either. But that does not lessen the value of these seven volumes.
|Some Excerpts …
The edition at the Nichols Memorial Library was published April 2010 published by The Limestone County Historical Society, Athens, Alabama..
This book and many others like it are available for you to research onsite at the Nichols Memorial Library.

Have you ever seen a kitty stealing a puppy's bed? Well, this cat video gives you enough reasons to smile away at a kitty's reluctance to give up the possession of a dog's bed.
The cat video shows how a 10-week-old French Bulldog, Pixel tries hard to reclaim his bed from a hard-to-move tabby. The family cat is reluctant to give up and continues to patiently watch the bulldog as a spectator while laying her claim on the former's bed.
The pets friendly toward each other look like teasing each other. You can not term it a rivalry, but a friendly match. They too understand family values! As the cat video demonstrates, the kitty enjoys while the puppy pulls the bed across the room floor.

Lucinda Williams
clutched the receiver and hung on her father's every word. Three years ago, the Grammy-winning, critically acclaimed songstress had dialed Miller Williams—her mentor, toughest critic and dad—for a bit of consolation after attending an old friend's funeral. Miller's words weren't so much a comfort as an inspiration.
"He told me 'a precious thing's temporary nature just makes it more precious,' and 'the saddest joys are the richest ones,'" Lucinda recalls of the genius in her father's offhand remarks. "It was so profound that I jotted it down and eventually wrote a song about it."
That tune—aptly titled "Temporary Nature (Of Any Precious Thing)"—is featured on the second disc of Williams' new double album, Down Where the Spirit Meets the Bone. Over the song's pensive guitar and church choir organ, Lucinda sings that impromptu mantra from her father, holding a quavering high note as she comes to the word "precious"—evoking the trembling grip of anyone who struggles to let go.
In an email to Paste, the elder Williams was modest about his role in the song's origin, writing, "I was sharing with her what we all eventually know, that the less time we can possess what we care for, the more we care for it." But his daughter insists that the tune wouldn't exist without his initial input, even though it was unintentional.
It's not the first time that Miller has helped Lucinda with her lyrics. As a poet and literary professor—who has authored 25 books and was given the National Arts Award by President Bill Clinton in 1997—the elder Williams offered endless feedback on his daughter's early tunes. But she says his contribution to "Temporary Nature" was especially meaningful.
"Over the past few years I've lost several friends to illnesses. And now my dad's got Alzheimer's," Lucinda, who is 61 years old, says of Miller, aged 84, before elaborating on his affliction: "Just watching that horrible disease at work, seeing it take his mind and his creativity, it's really tragic."
He has stayed strong in the face of those symptoms—in an email exchange between father, daughter and this reporter, Miller offered insightful answers to several questions. But despite its early stages, Lucinda can still see the toll that the disease has taken on him, especially during a recent tour stop near his home in Arkansas.
"He wasn't able to go to the concert, it was just too difficult for him to attend," she says, adding, "So I did a little acoustic show at his house, and he invited some friends over. He really enjoyed that."
The songstress has given several parlor performances for Miller and his poet pals over the years. In fact, that's how her career started. Throughout her childhood, the elder Williams often hosted after-parties for writing workshops, prompting Lucinda to entertain the guests.
"People say rock 'n' rollers are wild, but those poets could drink anyone under the table," Lucinda says with a laugh. "Partway through most of those nights, Dad would say 'Honey, why don't you go get your guitar?' I would start playing in the living room, and Dad's friends would tell me I had soul and that I should hang in there. My writing wasn't there, and my voice hadn't developed yet. But I got encouragement from some pretty cool people."
The members of that audience changed throughout Lucinda's youth, as she and Miller moved throughout the Deep South and into Latin America for his stints at different universities. They spent most of 1963 in Santiago, Chile, where Miller befriended renowned local poets like Pablo Neruda and Nicanor Parra. Nicanor's sister, Violeta, was an esteemed songstress whom Lucinda credits as a key influence, adding: "She was like the Joan Baez of Chile. We played her record all the time at home, and I even learned to sing one of her songs in Spanish."
Miller went on to work at a university in Mexico City, before returning stateside. There he met and mentored up-and-coming wordsmiths like Frank Stanford. When the young Arkansas-based bard committed suicide in 1978, Lucinda (with whom Stanford had had a brief affair) accompanied her father to the funeral. The trip inspired one of her most revered songs, "Pineola," from her 1992 album Sweet Old World.
"Most of those lyrics are factual," Lucinda says of "Pineola," adding that the song was named after the rustic village where Stanford was buried. One of the tune's closing verses describes the family of the departed poet, in an image as tragic as his untimely death. "It was really surreal. My dad and all of his writer friends were in one group, and his [Stanford's] mother and sister were off to themselves. They didn't know anyone. In fact, none of his friends knew anything about his family. It was a very Southern Gothic kind of thing."
As she scrawled lyrics about such incidents, Lucinda found herself fantasizing about having a career like Violeta Parra's (along with that of Emmylou Harris, Bob Dylan and other star songwriters of the '70s). So when Miller finally attained tenure at the University of Arkansas and started to settle down, Lucinda longed to carry on her nomadic lifestyle.
"Some people would tell me 'Oh you had to move around when you were young, that's so terrible.' I didn't see it that way," she says of the childhood she spent traversing Chile, Mexico City and other locales with her father. Instead, it left her with a wanderlust that has yet to be satisfied. "It gave me a global sense of things at a young age. It got me interested in Latin American culture and folk art. Ever since then, if I've been in a place for quite a while, I get restless."
Today, that disposition serves her well as one of alt-country's top touring musicians. But one pivotal conversation might have kept her from venturing down that path.
After high school, Lucinda Williams didn't immediately strap on a guitar and step onstage. Instead, she enrolled at the University of Arkansas after passing an entrance exam, despite having dropped out of the 10th grade. Academia still left her unsatisfied, but at Miller's behest, Lucinda endured and finished her freshman year.
"He wanted me to stay in college and get a degree, so that I'd have something to fall back on. And I tried," she says, adding that effort became even tougher after she paid a visit to New Orleans that summer. She went to The Big Easy to see her mother, an amateur pianist who had lost custody of Lucinda and her siblings after divorcing Miller in the mid-'60s. During her stay, Lucinda was offered a regular gig at a dive called Andy's in the French Quarter. She only played for tips, but the cost of living was so low, and the thrill of performing was so great, that a sophomore year at U of A seemed unthinkable. And yet she still considered it and consulted her father before deciding.
"I still look at that as the major turning point, because what if he'd said no? Then I'd have had to go back to school, because I looked up to him," she says. "I didn't want to disappoint my dad."
Miller gave Lucinda his blessing at that key moment, but she shouldn't have been surprised—he had been supportive, in one form or another, ever since she played for him and his fellow academics as a young girl. Of Lucinda's earliest performances, Miller writes, "What was mostly noted, given that most of those present were either poets or teachers of literature, was those talents of hers which could have made her a poet."
The prospect of convincing her father may have seemed daunting at the time, but that was merely the first hurdle in Lucinda's tumultuous career. The early years were especially rocky. She may have written would-be classics like "Pineola," in the late '70s, but she didn't record many of those tunes for another decade. Instead she began with Ramblin' On My Mind, her 1979 debut LP that only consisted of blues covers. Lucinda followed that up a year later with Happy Woman Blues. Both releases flopped, but in that time she had moved from New Orleans to Austin, Texas; then Jackson, Mississippi; then eventually to Nashville, gigging all the while. When her third eponymous album was released in 1988, its lead single "Changed the Locks" gave Lucinda her first taste of chart success, especially when Tom Petty covered it shortly after. From there, she gained confidence, releasing a more melancholy follow-up called Sweet Old World in 1992, on which she finally included "Pineola" and other songs about suicide, grief and loss.
And while stars like Petty may have covered her songs, it was the reinterpretation of another tune from her self-titled album that truly helped Lucinda Williams break through. Beloved country diva Mary Chapin Carpenter recorded her own version of "Passionate Kisses," a deep cut that netted both artists Grammy awards (Williams for best country song and Carpenter for best female country vocal performance). From there, Williams had the opportunity to collaborate with some of her heroes, like veteran songstress Emmylou Harris on her 1995 comeback disc Wrecking Ball. Harris returned the favor by lending her vocals to Lucinda's next album, 1998's Car Wheels on a Gravel Road. Those sessions were fraught with tensions, as she butted heads with producer Gurf Morlix, before firing him and redoing the first round of near-finished recordings. Despite the turmoil, Car Wheels became Lucinda's most successful album yet—her first to go gold, top several critics' year-end lists and net her a Grammy for best contemporary folk album. Fans and reviewers praised her fusion of country, blues, folk and rock on the release.
But her genre-mixing wasn't always considered a strength. In fact, much of Lucinda's career before Car Wheels had been plagued by record execs who complained about trying categorize her eclectic sound. At the time, Emmylou Harris was quoted as saying: "Lucinda is an example of the best of what country at least says it is, but, for some reason, she's completely out of the loop, and I feel strongly that that's country music's loss." Harris has also gone on to describe Williams' voice as abrasive enough to scrape "the chrome off a trailer hitch." Casual country fans couldn't see the cheeky compliment in that description, or the distinctive charm in Williams' singing. But a niche audience was smitten with the hoarse vulnerability in Lucinda's voice. Those fans didn't consider her singing to be "sand-papery" (as some critics claimed). Instead, they felt a unique texture in Lucinda's delivery, one that made the hurt in her lyrics palpable.
Williams says she's far from concerned about her lack of platinum albums and smash singles, adding "I still don't get played on mainstream radio. But it has never surprised me or bothered me. I always knew I wasn't mainstream and was never gonna be mainstream. I don't like the Nashville country you hear on the radio. The goal, for me, was to play music for a living."
Yet, Williams harbors no hatred for Nashville, unlike many of her alt-country contemporaries. In fact, she has befriended many of the infamous Music City's most promising performers.
"I did a show with a girl there called Elizabeth Cook, and we really hit it off. She's great," Williams says, before citing another of her favorite Nashville acts, the Kenneth Brian Band. "They'll tour with us in the fall, and my husband [record exec and music producer Tom Overby] is working with them a lot. Their stuff is a cross between Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Drive-By Truckers. It's great Southern rock, real spirited stuff. So there are some great younger artists coming out of Nashville. You just don't hear them on country radio."
Those expecting a more cantankerous comment from one of country's rawest fringe artists shouldn't be surprised. That audience may have been drawn in by the audible ache of Williams' early releases like Sweet Old World, or the resilient sneer she exuded on mid-career cuts like "Joy" (with its fierce refrain: "You took my joy, I want it back"). But true Lucinda Williams fans would have noted a tipping point in her later albums. Take Essence, her 2001 follow-up to Car Wheels. Rolling Stone praised its "willful intimacy," and Entertainment Weekly called it "her folkiest, gentlest album" yet. Lucinda also won her third Grammy for the disc's upbeat number "Get Right With God."
What's more, the album marked a new era with her father. In the past he would have plenty of corrections and feedback for her yet-to-be-sung lyrics. Sometimes his input seemed like mere fussiness, like his insistence that she change "a" to "the" so that a key line from the Car Wheels tune "Drunken Angel," read "Blood spilled out from the hole in your heart." But, upon consideration, Lucinda would always see how that meticulousness mattered. All that changed on Essence. As she puts it: "When I sent that album's lyrics to him, he told me that he didn't have any corrections to make. So I asked 'Does that mean I graduated?' And he laughed. That made me feel really good."
That streak of optimism only grew—Lucinda went on to release Little Honey in 2008 and Blessed in 2011. Her output has also picked up. She finished four albums in the '00s, double the number of discs she released in the two preceding decades. Some music journalists attributed that newfound positivity to her marriage to Overby, her Grammy wins and her various collaborations with other lauded musicians. But that new direction hasn't drawn universal acclaim. Pitchfork, for instance, only gave Blessed a mixed review and said it "has the feel of a transitional album—from lonely to married, from troubled to contented, from regretful to joyful." A reviewer for Toronto's NOW Magazine gave the album an equally lukewarm review, writing: "Williams is more observational than personal throughout Blessed, looking upon her downtrodden characters with sympathy and compassion." The critic may have seen that point as a flaw, but the songstress insists it's her greatest newfound strength.
The opening track on Lucinda's latest release is called "Compassion," and the album's title comes from one of that song's lyrics: "Where the spirit meets the bone." Those lines were initially penned by Lucinda's father, and the tune marks the first time that she incorporated some of his verses into her lyrics. Every stanza resonates all the more because of the song's sparse arrangement, featuring only an acoustic guitar and the imploring ache in Lucinda's vocals as she sings Miller's words:
Have compassion for everyone you meet, even if they don't want it.
What appears bad manners, an ill temper or cynicism
Is always a sign of things no ears have heard.
"That's one of the things Dad taught me growing up. I love that idea, of trying to remember that you don't know what a rude person has been through," Lucinda says of the poem's theme, before quoting Miller's lines: "'You do not know what wars are going on down where spirit meets the bone.' We can't see that part. It just describes the inner pain of people, the inner struggles."
Her father was deeply touched to know that some of his oldest work could have so much impact on Lucinda's new songs. He writes, "It was truly exciting when she told me by mail that she'd done this, as she asked for my approval. I'd never had one of my poems cross that bridge before!"
Lucinda's updated "Compassion" isn't a mere tribute to her father's vintage poem. She also adds several lines of her own, turning it into a unique discourse of sorts. It's the first time that she so heavily integrated her father's work with her own.
And that's far from the album's sole milestone. Recording a double album is a feat in itself, especially for a woman who was once famed for her two-albums-per-decade average. Down Where the Spirit's wider scope may be less focused than some of her previous works. But it also allows Lucinda more latitude for new ambitions. Its final track, for instance, is a near 10-minute rendition of J.J. Cale's "Magnolia," which ends with a wailing guitar solo that surely would have made the late Tulsa Blues vet smile. Meanwhile, on the swampy midway track "West Memphis," Lucinda sings in a nonchalant drawl about a surreal Southern Gothic murder, sounding like Annie Oakley on the set of True Detective. And the album's catchiest track, "Stowaway In Your Heart," conveys the deep gratitudes that are coupled with hard-earned love.
The disc's guests include Jakob Dylan, members of Elvis Costello's rhythm section and keyboardist Ian McLagan of Faces fame. "The songs I played on were recorded live in a great studio," McLagan says. "And playing along to her live vocals is as good as it gets. It's how I prefer to record, but you can only do that with a vocalist as impressive as Lucinda—it brings out the flavor."
"She's a poet," he adds. "Words are no barrier to Lu."
Miller Williams shares that sentiment. And despite the album's all-star collaborators, Lucinda's father truly is its key contributor. That's because his lines in the original "Compassion" inspired so much more than one of her latest songs.
"It helped me with all of my writing," Lucinda says of the poem's empathetic theme. "It helped me write about other people, like my songs 'Drunken Angel' or 'Lake Charles' or 'Pineola,' which deal with people who did stupid things like kill themselves or drink themselves to death. You have to be compassionate when you sing about those characters. If you're judgemental, it doesn't turn out well in a song. I'd rather identify with other people's feelings."
Miller Williams certainly recognizes that aim in his daughter's lyrics. In the joint email to Paste and Lucinda, he tells her, "What most deeply touches me in your songs is the fact that what they say is not really about you, but about the listener; this is what makes them so important to those who hear them."

Random black screen, stuttering and BSOD error 0x0000000F4
Hi, I've been having some problems with my computer. It locks up and after a couple of minutes, it gives me a BSOD. This started happening about three weeks ago, while playing PlanetSide 2 for the first time after its release (never happened during the beta). The screen and the sound started stuttering/hanging and then the whole computer locked up. Mouse and keyboard stopped responding, then the screen went black and after a few minutes a BSOD showed up. I didn't have minidumps set up at the time this happened, but I think it said something about "INPAGE DATA KERNEL ERROR" if I remember it correctly.
After this, the computer would keep crashing at random times. The exact same thing. Stutter, lock up and BSOD. This went on for a couple of days, then something happened to my harddrive. It would not load up Windows. It got stuck at "Starting Windows", so I decided to format my harddrive and reinstall Windows to see if it fixed it. It fixed the problem with Windows not loading. But the computer would still crash randomly and still does, but now it is slightly different. It either starts stuttering/hanging like before, or the Windows process just simply dies and after a while the screen turns black and sometimes BSOD.
The bluescreen error is different too. This time it would say "A PROCESS OR THREAD CRUCIAL TO SYSTEM OPERATION HAS UNEXPECTEDLY EXITED OR BEEN TERMINATED", followed by the error code 0x0000000F4.
I have set up minidumps (unchecked "Automatically restart" and selected "Small memorydump (256kb)"). But it still won't create one. It gets stuck on step 2 "Initializing disk for crash dump".
These crashes happens even when just doing simple things, like watching videos on Youtube and not just under heavy load. In fact, it rarely happens while the computer is under heavy load. It's when it's idle or working very little most of these crashes happens.
I have tried different thins to fix this, but nothing works. I have checked the harddrive (both partitions), tested the RAM (ran memtest86+ for 8 passes), updated graphics drivers and other drivers. It didn't report any errors. I have checked my temperatures and they're fine. It's 20° - 30° Celcius at idle and the graphics card goes up to 60° under heavy load. And that's about as hot as it gets.
Someone suggested I should stress test my graphics card, so I did. I ran 3D Mark 11 and Unigine Heaven 3 and everything was fine. No crashing, no stuttering.
I checked the Event Viewer and everytime the computer crashes like this, three errors are being logged. They are:
EventLog 1101
EventLog 6008
Kernel-Power 41
I don't have any new hardware installed (installed new graphics card and PSU 5 months ago, but that's not "new hardware" is it?) and I'm not overclocking.
The computer is a Acer Aspire AM3920. I've had it for bit longer than a year (15 months). I replaced the PSU and graphics card with better ones, but everything else is stock.
Here's the specs:
Motherboard: (Can't get much info on it. CPU-Z says "Acer Aspire AM3920".)
Graphics card: Sapphire Radeon HD 6870 1GB
CPU: Intel Core i3 2100 @ 3.1Ghz
PSU: Corsair GX600 @ 600W (Should be enough to power everything.)
RAM: 6GB DDR3 (3x Samsung M378B5773CH0-CH9 2GB DDR3 1333MHz)
HDD: 1TB(Can't get much info on this on either. I can't find anything online and there's no label on it.)
OS: I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit.
At first these crashes would happen at least two times a day but now it happens alot less frequently. Last week it didn't crash once. It ran perfectly fine for a whole week, but now it's back. I've had two BSODs total since Saturday and it started stuttering and hanging a bit earlier today while I was playing a game, but it never crashed. I just exited the game and waited for a while, then everything was back to normal again.
If you can help me, please do.

Embedding CR in business
Towards integration and transformation
In 2012, we were commissioned by Ethical Corporation to research, develop and write a new edition of their guidebook How to Embed Sustainability in Management Processes: Save money, eliminate risk and generate new business. This report is historically one of Ethical Corporation's most successful and popular. Our new edition drew on dozens of interviews with sustainability leaders across business, academia and civil society; along with extensive research on the tools, trends and techniques making corporate responsibility come to life.
Every company begins their sustainability journey from a unique place, whether that be undertaking a successful pilot project, making a high-profile commitment or setting a target, releasing its first corporate sustainability report, or another initiative. What is generally far more difficult is to translate a successful one-off project into an effective cross-company sustainability strategy.
Our report cuts this daunting process into a series of discreet activities including: how to manage the process of changing attitudes; how to find the right way to understand and measure performance, and how to engage well with corporate stakeholders. In addition to providing many examples of good practice, the report also presents in-depth case studies on: GE's success with ecomagination, IBM's Smarter Planet strategy, Marks & Spencer's approach to Plan A, Unilever's Sustainable Living Plan and Petrobras' commitment to rebuilding trust through corporate responsibility.

They know that body weight is as important as intelligence.
The City is full of beautiful people and all of them are slim. Women worry more about body weight than do men- and women have been doing better than men economically for years.
We also find that wealthy people are also more likely to have a gym membership than the poor- despite having less time to work out.
I do not think this a coincidence.
We have a duty to enjoy.Our attractiveness as people is largely determined by our ability to enjoy life. Women devote more time to pleasure than do men (chocolate, massage, clothing, scented candles ext). This contributes to their ability to draw people in.
Most people try to make their life seem as pleasurable and varied as possible on Facebook to make themselves more interesting. If we are seeking new friends (and we all are to some extent) we need to make our existing life seem something other people would like a part of.
It is possible to increase ones living standard by enjoying more of what is cheap locally.
This may be achieved by relocating or by developing local tastes. This is not actually something specific to women but specific to the middle class- and the middle class is largely female these days due to the larger numbers of women graduating from university.

Welcome to FiberLife!
I'm a fiberholic. There, I've admitted it. If it's hair or fur sheared from an animal or plant fuzz of any type, I'm interested. I'll spin the fluff, knit, weave, tat or crochet the resulting yarn into a fabric, and have a great deal of fun in the process. My Christmas gifts for family and friends are always hand-made, not homemade. My socks are hand-knit, my sweaters one-of-a-kind from sheep I've met personally, and my laces unique.

There are some brands that far surpass class, elegance and sophistication. So high quality are their products that they just stand there, taking pride of place on my dressing table, in front of everything else, strutting their elite stuff on the catwalk of my beauty room. These brands have the ability to stop you in your tracks as you walk past their stores, to lure you towards their displays and convince you to purchase new additions to your collection without a second thought. Such high regard for a brand and it's products doesn't come along very often - in fact we'll all only have one or two of these brands who've never let us down, or who make us feel that tingle of class and elegance when we own their products.
For me, one of those brands is Jo Malone.
It wasn't until this year that Jo Malone became more than a wish-list brand for me. But after I bought my first products, I was hooked and instantly wished I'd not left it as long to finally get some of their perfume. I started with Tuberose Angelica, which is one of their intense colognes, and it's still a favourite of mine now. But the ultimate has to be Wood Sage and Sea Salt.
I was introduced to it by my lovely friend Leah at Devoted To Pink. Who I will be forever grateful to for making that introduction! The scent itself is absolutely beautiful. Described as one of their 'woody' colognes, it's fresh and lovely - something I wear because it's feminine and light but musky enough to be long lasting. I hate weak scents, so this lovely and fresh cologne is beautiful to wear because it sits nicely on the skin without fading too quickly. I only need one re-spritz mid way through the day and I'm good to go.
Jo Malone describe Wood Sage and Sea Salt to be an outdoors type of scent - head notes of ambrette seeds, with heart notes of sea salt and earthly base tones of sage for natural depth. Think of a day walking outside - cliff tops, fresh air...that sort of thing. But to me the scent is a little different to that...
To me, Wood Sage and Sea Salt is the epitome of femininity.
It's light, womanly and beautifully delicate. I think less of walking outdoors and more like walking through the garden of a stately home, between the flower beds on a warm and sunny day. To me, that's what Wood Sage and Sea Salt smells like. It's utterly divine, classy and timeless.
It's the perfect everyday scent for me and I'm getting through it at an alarming rate because it's the bottle I'm reaching for the most at the moment! It's at the front of my dressing table, standing proud and looking as pretty as it smells.
But not content with the cologne, Jo Malone create matching candles to their scents - and I can't recommend them enough. The Wood Sage and Sea Salt candle adds a hint of sophistication to my home. That same class and elegance I love about wearing the perfume, is wonderful to have lingering slowly from room to room. It's exactly the same, with femininity and loveliness - without being overpowering.
Each 200g candle in the Jo Malone collection has a burn time of approximately 45 hours - so it's going to last through the winter and make your cosy evenings calm and relaxing. The strength and quality that you find in all Jo Malone products is equally as present in their wonderful candles, and after only 5-10 minutes burn time, the scent is already making it's mark. Which is always the sign of a great quality scented candle.
First the cologne, now the candle. My love for Wood Sage and Sea Salt means I am desperate to try the Body and Hand Wash next...And while I'm at it, I might just ask Santa for the Body Creme too.
If you're a Jo Malone fan, a bottle of their cologne is the original way to steal the scent-show and the candles are a wonderful way to further indulge the love of that favourite scent in a truly luxurious way. They make great gifts and the joy of a Jo Malone purchase means you can get a bottle of your favourite cologne and a matching candle, all gift wrapped in a trademark box with bow. Perfect for a really wonderful gift.
Have you tried a Jo Malone scent recently? What's your favourite, or on your wish-list?

Oh yes, I am turning 25. Its a super awesome experience for the last 25 years I had. Tons of happiness, lots of sorrow, surprises, impulsive moments, peaceful nights, inspired mornings, pathetic situations and a lot more… But all these are taught really BIG lessons in my life, and of course in all of our lives.
So, I think turning 25 is not a simple thing but a super awesome experience. You know why? Let's check it out.
- I can still choose, Do I want to be wise and mature or young and rash.
- I am still a young adult and acting like a matured middle age man.
- I can celebrate with out boundaries, No restriction from better half (Waiting for that…)
- There is a reason, for my first love didn't last(That time's hard chapter)
- Feels that I can make world's tastiest meal (but it feels only when I am hungry)
- Giving advise is much much easier than taking
- It is great to leave home and see the world.
- I understood money is big issue to make and learning to handle properly.
- The Toughest Thing : "UNDERSTANDING RESPONSIBILITY"
- I am Responsible for happiness : Mine & My Family
- Being Kind and Performing Pride is important
- Rejection is fuel for success.
- And at last, I understand turning 25 is really a super thing. 🙂

Thanks to Gus Balbontin of Lonely Planet, who grew up in Pategonia and knows Buenos Aires like the back of his hand, we were treated to an amazing lunch at El Mirasol.
The big food in Argentina is parrillos, which is essentially grilled meat. But of course the cattle are roaming the pampas and are consequently grass-fed, so the meat tastes amazing and the Argentineans are very good at cooking it.
In addition to steak, we had organ meats. This is the thyroid and small intestine that Joe Wikert didn't eat. (I ate mine. It was actually good.)
(Also: Do not ask that man to share a dessert with you. All the desserts are belong to him.)
That evening, we went down the street from our hotel and had pizza. There is a large population of Italians and Italian descendants here, so the pizza was of course great. Also, Malbec.
There was lots and lots of Malbec. At dinner, we sat with Joe, and Holger Volland…
…and Kat and Bill McCoy.
We were right below a chandelier.
The following evening, we had more parrilla with Carlo Carrenho and Rudiger Wichenbart at a lovely restaurant under a canopy.
I am afraid to eat any steak now. I think I've been utterly spoiled.

At DIAKADI, we believe that the key to successful, safe and efficient personal training is obtaining an in-depth understanding of each client's anatomy, lifestyle and health history. Consequently, we pride ourselves on the advanced assessments that our trainers use when gathering information on their clients. This fall, Billy Polson will be presenting a five part series (One Class per Month) that details the vital assessments every trainer should include when designing a truly individualized program for clients.
Tests/Assessments covered include:
- Static and dynamic posture measurements
- Anatomical structural measurements
- Muscle palpation
- Pelvic alignment
- Flexibility, range of motion and individual (strong/weak) muscle testing
- Movement patterns
- General health screens
- And most importantly - How to develop logical programs using the data gathered from advanced level assessments
This assessment series can be a tremendous boost in the way you analytically approach your training and program design.
While the series is free to all active DIAKADI trainers, we have opened up the assessment series to non-DIAKADI trainers as well for $20 per class.
Dates: 8/7 - 12/6
Location: DIAKADI
Cost: DIAKADI Trainers Free | Community Trainers $20
If your clients have postural issues, they will never be able to develop their bodies efficiently and safely. Billy Polson will be reviewing the different techniques and tools used to perform an advanced level static postural assessment following methods from NASM, NSCA, CHEK, Janda and NMT. Testing includes plumb line work, pelvic palpation and alignment, structural palpation (lower and upper body), measuring spinal curvatures for deviations, and more.
Client movements screens should be far more than an overhead squat test and pushups. Billy Polson will discuss the ways of using a Movement Screen Assessment for each of the most basic movement patterns to add depth to your client assessments and therefore improving the program design you provide for clients.
In this third section of our five part 'Assessment Educational Series,' Billy Polson will look at joint functionality and walk through a series of tests to ensure that your clients have safe, functional mobility/range of motion in their joints before designing workout and stretching programs for them. We will also learn how to test isolated muscles that a large percentage of clients tend to have trouble recruiting.
The fourth section in our series will address the in-depth health analysis that should be done when starting work with clients. Asking clients about their current medications, previous injuries and goals only graze the surface when it comes to learning all you can about your clients. In this final section we will discuss:
- Cardiovascular Testing
- Basic Health Screens (Blood Pressure, Body Fat, Circumference Measures)
- Full Health History
- Lifestyle Questions - HUGELY important
- Nutrition/Food Journals
- Intelligent goal gathering and setting
In our 5th section and wrap-up, now that we have covered all of the assessment tools, it is now time to learn exactly how to transition from assessment to program design. We will be discussing:
- Transitioning in-depth assessment knowledge to successful programs
- Truly efficient, safe, and individualized program design
- Progressing and regressing programs safely and effectively
Feel free to call us with further questions at 415-863-4922.
We hope you will join us for these advanced level trainer knowledge sharings!

Trade Deficit Narrows on Exports, Cheaper Oil
Reuters Share
The trade deficit narrowed slightly in May as lower oil prices and a rise in exports, including those bound for Europe and China, eased the pain of a slowdown in the broader economy. The gap shrank 3.8% to $48.7 billion, the U.S. Commerce Department said Wednesday. Exports, which have been a key support for the economy since the 2007-2009 recession, climbed 0.2%, rising across categories from capital goods and industrial supplies to consumer goods. Imports fell 0.7%, dragged down by the drop in oil prices. More
May Wholesale Revenues Down 0.8% from April
Modern Distribution Management Share
May 2012 wholesale revenues were $409.6 billion, down 0.8% from April but up 5.7% from May 2011, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. May sales of durable goods were up 0.6% from last month and up 9 percent from a year ago. Sales of nondurable goods were down 1.9% from April but up 3.2% from last May. Inventories of wholesalers were $484.1 billion at the end of May, up 0.3% from April and up 6.4% from May 2011. May inventories of durable goods were up 0.6% from last month and up 10.1% from a year ago. More

Industrial Metals, Oil Fall as New Signs of China's Economic Slowdown Raise Demand Questions
The Associated Press via The Washington Post Share
Industrial metals and oil prices are dropping as new signs of a slowdown in the Chinese economy suggest that demand for basic materials will weaken. China said Tuesday that its trade growth plunged last month because demand softened in Europe and in the U.S. Imports grew at a rate of 6.3%, about half the level in May. Export growth was 11.3%, compared with 15.3% in May. Growth in Chinese manufacturing also fell to the lowest level in seven months. Factories there have cut purchases of raw materials because of weaker demand. More
Seven Steps to Avoid Employment Claims
Industrial Distribution Share
Start with 150 million U.S. employees at any given moment, add tens of thousands of pages of Employment Laws, and you have a recipe for a significant amount of employment litigation. Complicating matters further, employment law continually is expanding. If your company has not already been a party to an employment complaint, it could well be vulnerable. Following these seven guidelines is a start to significantly reducing your company's exposure. More
Orders to US Factories Rise for First Time in Three Months
Bloomberg Share
Orders placed with U.S. factories rose in May for the first time in three months, easing concern that manufacturing is faltering. Auto sales for June also exceeded analysts' estimates. The 0.7% increase in bookings followed a revised 0.7% drop in the prior month, the Commerce Department said in Washington. The median forecast of economists in a Bloomberg News survey called for a rise to 0.1%. More
Homing In on a Better Economy
The Wall Street Journal Share
It is the third summer in a row that fears of an economic stumble have come to the fore, but this time there is a big difference: Housing isn't rolling over. To the contrary, amid a spate of otherwise lackluster-to-disappointing economic data, housing reports have been a bright spot. Monday's report on May home construction and last week's figures on May new-home sales and pending sales of previously owned homes all topped economists' estimates. Quarterly results from Lennar and KB Home last week soundly beat expectations. More

On behalf of the staff and governors at Silverdale, and the Trustees of Chorus Education Trust, we offer our congratulations to all our students, of whom we are extremely proud.
"We believe our success is very much down to incredible team work – from the outstanding teachers and staff we have, through to the committed students who show a real passion for their studies. This is all backed up by their families, who work in partnership with us to support them.
